Interesting.
I don't know the mechanism of action, but it seems unlikely that this is acting as an antibiotic to have this effect.
More likely that minocycline is acting directly as a stimulant-blocker, dopamine-blocker or oxytocin-blocker.
Next experiment: examine the effect of stepped doses of modafinil and nasal administered oxytocin to see if they might 'rescue' the sweetness of the honey trap.
Agreed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amfonelic_acid , an incredibly potent dopamine reuptake inhibitor, was discovered while investigating antibiotics.
